FREGELLAE

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 92 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FREGELLAE , an ancient town of
Latium
  adiectum, situated on the Via
Latina
 ,' r m. W. N. W. of Aquinum, near the left branch of the Liris. It is said to have belonged in early times to the Opici or Oscans, and later to the Volscians. It was apparently destroyed by the Samnites a little before 330 B.C., in which year the
people
  of Fabrateria Vetus (mod. Ceccano) besought the help of Rome against them, and in 328 B.C. a Latin
colony
  was established there. The
place
  was taken in 320 B.C. by the Samnites, but re-established by the Romans in 313 B.C. It continued hence-forward to be faithful to Rome; by breaking the bridges over the Liris it interposed an obstacle to the advance of Hannibal on Rome in 212 B.C., and it was a native of Fregellae who headed the deputation of the non-revolting colonies in 209 B.C. It appears to have been a very important and flourishing
place
  owing to its command of the
crossing
  of the Liris, and to its position in a fertile territory, and it was here that, after the rejection of the proposals of M. Fulvius Flaccus for the extension of Roman burgess-rights in 125 B.C., a revolt against Rome broke out. It was captured by treachery in the same year and destroyed; but its place was taken in the following year by the
colony
  of Fabrateria Nova, 3 M. to the S.E. on the opposite bank of the Liris, while a
post
  station Fregellanum (mod. Ceprano) is mentioned in the itineraries; Fregellae itself, however, continued to exist as a
village
  even under the
empire
 . The site is clearly traceable about 1 m. E. of Ceprano, but the remains of the city are scanty.
See G. Colasanti, Fregellae, storks e topografia (1906). (T. As.)
